Either an M18 Hellcat or an open topped version of the M36.

M 10 had a wedge shaped mantlet and a shorter gun length. Also there was no muzzle break which the photo seems to show though covered.

It looks like the same M4 modified chassis as that on the M36 'Slugger', but the front armor, turret, and gun are all wrong...

I dont think it's Jackson..looks way too weird. Like mixture of M4 sherman (76) and M-10

hmm maybe it's M36B1 Jackson with added frontal armor...somewhere in during battle of bulge.

It's just a normal M36. M36 had this type of mantlet, they did not use the M10 pointed type.

It is not an M36B1, those had standard Sherman hulls, not the TD slope sided type.

Ah, now we are getting somewhere...

more likely a M36B2, I think.  

Wouldn't the B1 have a .30 cal MG in the front, and straight sides?

Nope. The M36B2 had an armored roof. This is the standard M36.

Id say it was 'daisy'. she produced about a pint of quite sour ans smelly milk a day but under these conditions milk supply was cut short.her head could apparently travel at 40kph  and in the complete oppersite direction to her body.
She was trained to throw herself at the allied tanks in a desperate effort to stem the allied tide.
Its debateable whether 'daisy' was an effective anti tank weapon.

so why is there half a cow on the front of the cow??
is it to confuse the enemy?
